    Is my Hen Broody?

    One of my Buff Orpington hens has been laying for about 2 weeks now. She has been fine before. Today, she went to their favorite nesting box like normal, but now she have been in there for about 3 hours and squawks whenever there is another chicken around.

    Do you think they’ll survive the night?

    Ten chicks that are three weeks old (incubated and hatched), was in a brooder, took them out and tucked them under a broody orp. Think they’ll take to each other by morning?

    Buff Orpington Broken Leg

    My one-year-old buff orpington broke her leg just above the hock joint. She got it caught in some fencing in our yard (we believe). It was very sad, but we decided to try and save her versus the alternative. Both were difficult decisions if I'm being honest. Luckily we have an avian vet within...

    My Hen went broody and hatched chicks in Freezing January... What do I do

    On of our hens (hatched this spring, out by a broody hen), was acting very odd last week. We were worried that she may be egg bound as she wasn't moving. Unfortunately, we observed her odd behavior as we were leaving for the airport for the week. We came back, nervously afraid to find a very...
